Reddit's official app is finally out. The 10-year-old company said to be "the front page of the Internet" has launched its own app for both iPhone and Android devices. The app has so far been launched in US, UK, Canada and Australia.

Announcing the launch of the apps on Reddit, the company's VP consumer product Alex Le–I, wrote, "This is the beginning of our journey with you, our app users. For everyone joining us on this ride, you can expect a lot of updates and new features that we’ll be rolling out to mobile first. Our first feature releases are getting prepared now and we’ll be updating at least once a month."

Reddit also assured its users that it will continue to support free public APIs, "...if you already have an app you like, you're free to continue enjoying it. We will continue to support our free public api," wrote Le-I.

Reddit is said to be working on its app for quite some time. In 2014, it bought Alien Blue, the most popular third-party app used by people to access the website. The company launched the beta version of the app in January this year.

Reddit co-founder Steve Huffman returned to lead the company in January last year after turmoil at the company following the sacking of community manager Victoria Taylor.
